The surprise free update to Fallout 4, a game released in 2015, is not much of a surprise as it fits right into the release of Amazon and Bethesda’s live-action TV series Fallout, which the whole first season is now available on Prime Video to all that are subscribed to the streaming service.
The Fallout tv series has been given nothing but praise since its release as it currently sits at a 93% Rotten Tomatoes rating with even an 85% audience score as of April 12, 2024. Many are already calling the series one of the best video game adaptations ever released.
Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
